Having a look in the FE shop manual the gearbox oil capacity is one and two thirds pints (imperial)
a quick conversion

1.66 pint U.S = .785 Litres
1.66 pint U.K = .943 Litres

So 1 Litre should be enough for hoons theory :D
The book says Grade Oil Recommended S.A.E. 90 Straight run mineral oil

I am sure others will have their favourite oil, this is just whats in the manual
Hope this helps
